"Don't Be Afraid of the Dark" centers on a young girl, sent to live with her father and his new girlfriend, who discovers sinister creatures that live underneath the stairs.

Madison will play the girl, who discovers the creatures and is fascinated by them -- until they prove dangerous. Pearce will play the father, an author frustrated by his daughter's tales of monsters, not believing her even when his girlfriend (Holmes) backs her.

the role suits him and his nervous/itchy appearance

but this has been done like dozens of times before and it looks like all the usual cliches are available, so why would an aspiring director take up such a lowly recycled piece remains a mystery

for better movies with pearce watch:

The Hurt Locker (2008) just for the visuals/atmosphere (be aware its filled with usa military propaganda & painfully unrealistic)
The Time Machine (2002) some bad acting but enjoyable
Memento (2000) excellent
L.A. Confidential (1997) excellent

Interesting to say the least. I think I'd really enjoy this particular one.
I believe it's a re-make of the original "Don't be afraid of the dark' made in the early '70's ----> IMDB Link.

except in this one, it's a young girl that is the attention of the gremlins.
